intended for persons aged 16 or older.

READ THIS FIRST!

- This is a highly technical hobby product, intended to be used in a safe racing environment. This car 

is capable of speeds in excess of 80 km/h or 50mph. Please follow these guidelines when building and 

operating this model.

- Parental guidance is required when the builder/user of this car is under 16.

- Follow the building instructions. If in doubt, contact your dealer or importer.

- Be sure to use the proper tools when assembling the car. Always exercise caution when using electric 

tools, knives and other sharp objects.

- Be careful when using liquids like lubrication oil, fuel or glue. Do not swallow.

- Follow the manufacturer’s instruction in case you experience irritation after using the product.

-  Be  careful  when  operating  the  car.  Stay  away  from  any  rotating  parts  such  as  wheels,  gears  and 

transmission. Stay away from motor, engine and exhaust pipe system or speedo during and immediately 

after use, as these parts may be very hot. We advise to use protective hand cloves.

- Only operate this car in a safe environment, like a special racing track or a closed parking lot. Avoid using 

this car on public roads, crowded places or near infants.

- Before operating this car, always check the mechanical status of the car. Also check that the transmitter 

and receiver frequencies correspond and are not used by any other racer at the same time. Check that the 

batteries of the transmitter and receiver- are fully charged.

- After use, always check all the mechanics of the car. We advise to clean the car immediately after use, 

and inspect the parts for wear or fractures. Replace when necessary. Do not use water, methanol, thinner 

or other solvents to clean the car.

- After your session, disconnect the main battery from the speed control.

- Store the car in a dry and heated place to avoid corrosion of metal parts.

- Avoid using this car in wet conditions as the water will cause corrosion on the metal parts and bearings 

and these parts will cease to function properly. If driven in the wet, ensure that all the electric equipment is 

waterproofed and after use, that all moving parts are dried immediately.
